In a large bowl, whip cream cheese, sour cream, vanilla and sugar for a few minutes until mixed well. Add Cool Whip and whip until smooth. Put banana slices on the crust, top with filling and chill for a few hours, until firm. Top with shaved chocolate before serving.

I'm a dessert fan but most healthified recipes are disappointing. This one sounds more "real" than most that have had fat & sugar reduced. I love that it's not made with fat-free, sugar-free instant pudding, which is what I would have done.

I went home today during my lunch break and made this, it is in my fridge and I can't wait til desert time! I tasted the filling of course and it was AMAZING, I am so excited to taste the finished product. My hubby is going to love it. Thanks again Gina for another great recipe. XOXOXOXOXXOXOXO

@Derinda- I need to figure out the Facebook thing but you can follow me on twitter! I do have a feed on Facebooks Networked Blogs which put new recipes on your wall if you follow. Here's the link: http://www.networkedblogs.com/search?q=gina%27s+weight+watcher+recipes

This is by FAR my families FAVORITE desseret! My husband doesn't even like pie and I told him to just give it a try and he asked for a second slice! He thought it was amazing! He also didn't know that it was "healthy" low in cal and fat. He was very shocked to hear that! Our extended family and friends all ask for this recipe whenever we bring it to dinner gatherings. Thank you so much for your blog it's amazing and I tell everyone about it. I LOVE IT! I use at least 1-3 of your recipe a week! Thanks for your beautiful photos and wonderfully yummy food. Keep up the great work! P.S You really should have a cookbook I'm SURE it would sell like crazy!

Gina, I'm new to your website and made this Banana pie last night. It was awesome! I felt like I was cheating it was sooo good!! One question though, when you say 5.5 WW points is that per slice or for the entire recipe?

I made this yesterday and it was super easy and so amazing. I actually put it in the freezer to set. I have been craving bananna cream pie and was thinking about going to perkins to get a piece but one piece is 12 points. Who can afford that? Plus I think this one tastes better with fresh bannans.

Hi Gina....This recipe is great (I'm sure you're not sick of hearing that!!!). The second time I made it, my creative cooking juices got flowing -- after I put the sliced bananas on the crust, I put a layer of fat free/sugar free banana pudding then I put the cream cheese mixture on top. Instead of chocolate shavings on top, this time I put toasted sliced almonds. My husband loved it!! He's trying to lower his tryclycerides which means cutting down on fat and sugar - so I made the pie with fat free cream cheese, sour cream and cool whip....also used Equal instead of the sugar and it worked out just fine. Also a great recipe for diabetics. Thank you Gina for all the hard work you do coming up with these recipes....it's a big help to so many people!

I made this pie last night because I had friends coming over to play cards, so they were the guinea pigs, they absolutel LOVED IT!!!! I had like two pieces left over and my brother and sister in law came over today. Needless to say my sister in law wants the recipe. Even my husband ate it and loved it. This is the 3rd recipe I have tried and all 3 are outstanding. Thanks for the great recipes. Michelle

oh my goodness! this pie is AMAZING! i shared it with my family and a friend. i told everyone the last 2 slices are MINE! haha it was great. i'm excited for next summer because i definitely plan to throw a layer of strawberries in there. thanks so much for these recipes!

Gina - this pie was RIDICULOUS. I all but licked the mixing bowl making it! I had an extra pie crust in the freezer so I used that instead - but I'm fantasizing about what a graham cracker crust would taste like!

I think this pie would be perfect with practically any summer fruit - mango, strawberries, blueberries... yum!

Gina - Just discovered your site and can't wait to make this for my son's birthday. Banana Cream Pie is his favorite and with your recipe, I can have a slice too and stay on WW plan. Question - Is the 5.5 points for the old system or the new points plus? Thank you! Michele

This was the easiest thing in the world to make! Thanks so much for all of your recipes. I am super domestically challenged, but you've managed to get even me cooking. I made both this recipe and the baked potato soup this weekend and both are delicious!

This was soooo good! I just found your website and I have tried a couple of your recipes and they were awesome. I can't wait to try more I did put this recipe in the WW recipe builder and it came out to 6 points. I didn't add any chocolate shavings. I did put the nutrition info in the points calculator and it came out to 5 points. Any idea why they would be different?

Gina:I have lost 42 lbs on WW since last April. This pie is FANTABULOUS! I made it for a fish fry at my church and it was history immediately. I shared a piece with my mother in law to half the points. Thanks for all you do-love learning how to eat healthy!Marina

I've made this many times for myself and my family, and let me tell you that they have been blown away! I'm only a teen, but I impress everyone with this recipe! Thank you! I even got extra-credit in my cooking class for bringing this in!

Gina! I'm a new fan =) I live in australia and there is no cool whip! Tragic I know I grew up in the usa, so I really know what I'm missing....is there anything you can think of that would be an acceptable substitute?Thanks so much!

This was a hit at our families Easter celebration! Thanks so much. So yummy and a little cheesecakey tasting so I may try the custard with some cherries or strawberries:) I am inspired and it was so easy to put together.

Delicious! We decided to use Splenda (helps with dad's diabetes) and allowed us to add a tbsp of cocoa. So good! No change to the points. We are having a really hard time just eating one piece. Thanks for your hard work with all of these recipes. I made so many dishes this weekend from your recipes. I will comment on those recipes too!

I love your site and the wonderful recipes! I'm almost afraid to ask this question but I'm trying to get educated about nutrition relative to my husband's heart condition (blockage building in arteries) and it sounds like trans-fats are as bad as/worse than saturated fats. Since "hydrogenated oil" is the third ingredient in FF Cool Whip, would you know the total amount of trans fats in an 8oz container of FF Cool Whip? (I've emailed Kraft and had no reply.)

I've been pouring over your recipes. I'm so excited to find real recipes. And I'm so glad to not find artificial sweeteners all over the place. I do not feel comfortable using splenda and the like if my 7 year old will be partaking. Can't wait to try some of these recipes. Great, great site!!!!!

I made this for July 4th and it was a hit! I used all fat free ingredients for the pie filling, and since I could not find chocolate shavings, cut up a dark chocolate Hershey bar. LOVE this recipe! Quick, easy, healthy, AND delicious! :)

I just made this the other night and it was absolutely amazing hands down the best dessert I have ever made in my whole life! Everyone that has tried it has loved it and it was so super duper easy! I am so glad I found your site it is great. I also tried the chicken parm and it was yummy as well! Thanks so much... get on Facebook soon! Also you need your own show on Food Network :)

Made this today. It's delicious and everyone loves it, however, there is a bit too much topping. I felt like I could have doubled the bananas, halved the topping and no one would have been the wiser. It would still be delicious. So... that's what I'm going to do next time.

I made this for Thanksgiving, omg hands down my new favorite pie! It was amazing, I already got requests for another coming from both people who love sweets and others who rarely eat any kind of dessert! This I'd brilliant, thanks Gina!

Do you have a recipe for key lime??? I thought this could possibly be turned into a key lime pie, what do you think?

I made this pie the other night when I had my parents over for dinner. It was a huge hit! I added some sliced bananas on top as well. I didn't feel like I was eating a "diet" dessert at all! Delicious!

I made this for our potluck at work. It was a hit. Even people who were not watching their weight lived it. I think next time I have to add a little more cream cheese because it did not firm up as much as I would have liked. Still yummy though.

This was SOO good!! I made this for my family and they loved it! We're HUGE banana lovers and practically eat them everyday so this was a perfect pie. Love that it was lighten up! How do you just come up with this amazing stuff?! Could you please make a recipe for keylime pie?! My dad is a huge fan of key lime pie! But I want a lighten up version and your the best!! I make your recipes all the time (I've printed almost all of them out) and have learned a lot from them. I'm 16 and want to go to culinary school and your really preping me for that while helping my family stay in shape which is great! Can't wait for more recipes! Thanks soo much! :-)-Jessica

Made this for Father's Day and for some reason, it just didn't do it for me. The banana cream pies (& coconut for that matter) I've enjoyed are more of a custard than just cream. This just seemed like a lot of whipped cream with bananas. Love your recipes, Gina, but this one must just have been a difference in preferences.

I'm in Canada so I sometimes have issues with the difference between oz and fl oz... which is the Cool Whip here referring to? Doing some conversions, I came up with 8fl oz = 236ml (1 cup), and 8oz would come out to 800ml (about 3.3 cups). Both are within the realm of being reasonable, but they're pretty different :S

This pie is AH-MAZING! I made it for a bbq at my parent's house and my dad, who is NOT on a diet, ate about half of it on his own. Once I told him it was skinny he didn't believe me. Everyone loved it so much, and now its the only thing my family lets me bring to gatherings (which is fine with me since its so easy and delicious). I'm a long long time follower and I love your blog, its a life saver. This is my second time doing weight watchers and because of you I have been able to stick with it. Thanks so much for what you do!

Awesome finish to a dinner party the other evening. Didn't even tell folks it was reduced fat. The entire thing was noshed in no time at all. My wifey snuck a bit out of it before I went to cu sliced up for folks.. another epic win!

This is in my fridge right now. We eat skinny taste multiple times a week around here and it suits my weight watcher needs perfectly. My husband who is not on weight watchers thinks I am lying when I tell him it is healthy and he has seen a difference as well! I entertain often and our guest are blown away when I tell them it is good for them. You are the best!

I have now made this twice...once for Thanksgiving and once yesterday for my Dad's Birthday. The first time I made this, it never full set...the taste was fabulous, but it looked like a melting snowman. I remembered my issues from last time and made it 24 hours ahead, thinking it would give it plenty of time to set. Around 3pm Sunday, it was still wiggly, so I decided to stick it in the freezer. The result was like mock ice cream cake. It was delicious (but sort of difficult to eat). I think next time I make this (I have the ingredients for a second one), I might freeze for only an hour (prior to serving). Thanks for the recipe, Gina!

Anyone in UK suggest alternatives as we do not have cool whip or graham crackers here & I am dying to try this recipe. I have got to make something for a special occasion & want the dessert to be special but without all the fat & calories!
